Bodybuilders bag silvers at Asian champs
Three Vietnamese athletes have won silver medals at the ongoing World Bodybuilding Championships in Thailand.
Luong Hong Ngoc made a great international debut to become the world’s first runner-up in the youth women category, while Dinh Kim Loan finished second in the women’s U48kg pool.
Tran Anh Thong, who is expected to snatch a world title in the future, came in second in the men’s under 60kg category. It was Thong’s second silver this year after the Asian championships.
In other events, Le Hoai Thuong pocketed a bronze in the men’s 160cm event. World champion Nguyen Thi My Linh failed to defend her title after finishing fourth in the women’s over 50kg, and Tran Thi Cam Tu was out of the top three in the women’s fitness event.
Tu was last year’s world bronze medallist and this year’s Asian silver medal holder.
